I just had to show off my first… twisty thing of handspun yarn! I’ve never even seen one in real life before and I’ve definitely never worked with natural fiber before. I saw the roving on Etsy and fell in love. Now, I have no clue how to spin except for the brief research I’ve done confirming that I don’t have what it takes at the moment. It’s so big! I had no idea that 4 ounces would be this much. Do you see how little I know about yarn? Here’s the Etsy pic that made me fall in love.
Can you friggin blame me? And here’s two shots of it in natural light, spun.

I know. It’s heavenly. Visit LlamaMama’s shop here for more natural llama fiber.
Also, I ordered a mosaic on slate a little while back- my first Etsy purchase. I’m such a newb. It’s from Nutmeg Designs and is put on nice heavy slate and signed. Apparently, she found the tiles in a build your own ashtray kit from the 60s, designed for little kids to give to their parents. Classy. But there is such beautiful stuff in her shop. Visit here.

The roving and yarn are beautiful if I do say so myself!!! Enjoy!!
So beautiful. I still have no idea what I’ll do with it, but since there’s so much more than I bargained for, I can make something more substantial.
First, that yarn is amazing. It looks like crazy cotton candy, and that kinda makes me want to eat it. Not really, but I’ve had a LOT of sugar today, so I’m not exactly sure where this stuff comes from, just that I must type it. 🙂
Second, your blog is awesome. Period.
Third, welcome to the Indiepublic Blog Ring! Thanks for joining.
Just read your post again and wanted to emphasize that this is Border Leicester/ Lincoln cross wool and not llama. Llama is much softer.
Thanks for letting me know, Kena. I can’t tell the difference between the two, so I would have never known. Still beautiful.
Catie, thanks for starting the blog ring. I’ve never been in one before and I’ve already found lots of cool sites. I also accept that my blog rocks. Thank you.
